Mary Dallman , LMFT

Mary Dallman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who brings decades of clinical perspective to supporting people through major life challenges. She is licensed to practice in California, South Dakota, and Washington and has long-standing experience assisting clients wrestling with addictions, coping with grief and loss, navigating eating disorder concerns, and addressing career-related difficulties. Mary emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care, shaping each conversation and treatment plan to reflect the unique situation and goals of the person she is working with.

She focuses on practical, individualized strategies that align with a client s values and readiness for change, and she partners with clients to build clearer direction and healthier routines. Mary recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage, and she positions herself as a steady source of support throughout the process of recovery, healing, and career development. Her approach centers on tailoring interventions to fit each person s needs while maintaining empathy and professional guidance every step of the way.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the specific issues a person brings. For clients facing addictions, she employs structured, skills-focused strategies that help identify triggers, develop coping tools, and support sustained recovery. For grief and loss, her work centers on creating space to process emotions, integrate difficult experiences, and rebuild daily routines and relationships in a way that honors what was lost.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary works with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting methods over time so therapy remains practical and effective for the individual.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to access support from home or wherever is most comfortable. These formats provide flexible scheduling, quicker connection to a therapist, and multiple ways to communicate so clients can choose what feels most helpful for their situation.
